Gameplay
Some of the Dr. Faust's attacks require Red Orbs to be performed; however, when enemies are defeated utilizing it, the player will collect back more Red Orbs than were used to perform said actions. The more Red Orbs the player has, the longer Dante's flame-esque scarf will be.

With the Gunslinger Style, Dante is able to throw the hat itself around, or spawn meteorite-like projectiles from the sky, the latter deals an incredible amount of damage if charged, but the pay-off is the high cost of Red Orbs to perform such move.
